And that's why I was asking about whether it was possible to have 
repositories on the documentfoundation.org servers.
Users of Debian (and its derivatives) could put 
"apt.documentfoundation.org" into their sources.list file and there 
would be a one-stop shop for that distribution to put LibO into users 
hands. I'm assuming rpm's and other distribution packaging could be 
setup in a similar fashion. In the same light, Windows users would have 
a  download source for updates.

Would this be a security headache?
Could this work for the average user?
Does this not seem a convenience for the end-user community at large?

Others could mirror this repository, but this would be the "upstream 
source" for both users/distributions.
Are there other factors I'm missing?
